>From what I can tell, you pass these structures to the device, so they
are a binary interface. I don't think you can rely on bitfields to work
correctly here, they are generally not portable and I wouldn't rely
on them doing the right thing if you build a big-endian kernel.

It's better to use bitmasks on a u64 value instead to make it obviously
portable.
